Lauren Johnson was nervous about getting involved in productions until she got an unexpected call. As a senior media, journalism and film major at Missouri State University, it was her dream to work on a project like Show-Me Chefs.
It not only came true, but she also won an award of excellence for her work.
“Telling stories has always been my passion,” said Johnson, now a graduate student in the producing and screenwriting program. “I’m happy to say that for the last couple of years at Missouri State, I have gotten that opportunity on multiple occasions.”
Johnson was the head editor of the promotional video for Show-Me Chefs, a broadcast/webcast cooking competition television show produced in Springfield, Missouri by MSU’s department of media, journalism and film. The show features culinary talent from the Show-Me State.
She received the award at the Broadcast Education Association’s Festival of Media Arts 2017 competition.
